Welcome to the Golden Age of Radio and the best in classic mystery.

From 1939-1946 Americans gathered around their radio to listen to The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes -- featuring Basil Rathbone as the high strung crime solver and Nigel Bruce as his phlegmatic assistant, Dr. Watson.

Witty, fast-paced and always surprising, these great radio plays -- written by the prolific writing team of Anthony Boucher and Denis Green -- are as fresh today as they were then.

The latest audio technology was employed to bring the best audio quality and fidelity to the original performances, which feature nostalgic war-time announcements, original commercials and radio narrations.

This special CD edition includes 12 of the series' best episodes:

• The Unfortunate Tobacconist and The Paradol Chamber
• The Viennese Strangler and The Notorious Canary Trainer
• The April Fool's Day Adventure and The Strange Adventure of the Uneasy Easy Chair
• The Strange Case of the Demon Barber and The Mystery of the Headless Monk
• The Amateur Mendicant Society and The Case of the Vanishing White Elephant
• The Case of the Limping Ghost and The Girl with the Gazelle
